This is one of three houses in this fashionable block designed by a prominent
Modernista architect, the other two being Casa Amatller by Josep Puig i
Cadafalch and Casa Batlló by Gaudí. But each of the houses
is in a very different style, giving rise to the punning term Mançana
de la Discòrdia, meaning "apple of discord" (mançana
is the Catalan word for both "apple" and "block"). Whereas
the other two houses are in the middle of the block, this large house is
situated on a corner. These three houses were all essentially remodelling
jobs with alterations to existing buildings. But in subsequent years Casa
Morera was changed yet again. In 1943 much of the facade and interior on
the ground floor and mezzanine were "remodelled" (some say mutilated),
with the ground floor arches and sculpture removed; recently, yet another
remodelling effort has attempted to restore some of the original Modernista
design. |
